Product Description:

The 5CFCRD.0064-03 is a compact flash memory card from B & R Automation, offered within the 5CF Compact Flash Cards series. In controllers, HMIs, and motion systems, it provides removable solid-state storage for system files, configuration data, and logged process information. Its removable format helps avoid exposing circuit boards to electrostatic discharge or vibration during routine media changes. This makes it suitable for embedded platforms that need nonvolatile storage without adding moving parts to the system.

This card delivers a storage capacity of 64 MB, which is suitable for typical PLC project files and event logs. During normal operation, it reaches a sustained read bandwidth of 8 MB/s and a write throughput of 6 MB/s, so program downloads and data retrieval finish quickly on standard IDE or ATA interfaces. The card uses SLC flash, which gives lower bit error rates than multi-level designs. An integrated ECC engine corrects transient byte errors on the fly, and the height of 3.3 mm, length of 36.4 mm, and width of 42.8 mm allow the card to fit legacy Type I sockets used in embedded racks.

For endurance, the silicon supports more than 2,000,000 program-erase cycles per block, which suits continuous logging applications in packaging or printing machines. Static wear-level algorithms distribute writes evenly, and the static wear leveling method helps avoid premature loss of capacity in fixed-file systems. Proven reliability is expressed as fewer than 1 unrecoverable error per 10¹⁴ bits read, which lowers the risk of read failures during long operating periods. The module weighs only 11.4 g, minimizing connector stress during vibration, and it does not provide S.M.A.R.T. reporting because internal health counters are not included. Because it has no moving parts, the card avoids the wear mechanisms associated with spinning media and remains suitable for equipment exposed to repeated motion or shock.
